Abstract
A lot of nanometer-sized metal particles exhibit high optical nonlinearity and fast time response in the surface plasmon absorption region,1 so they have potential application in nonlinear optical devices in the future. Especially, gold nano crystals were most intensively studied and their linear and nonlinear optical properties are relatively well known.2 However, preparation techniques for gold nano particles in inorganic oxide glass are not well established yet and controlling the nanocrystal size has to be elaborated for the systematic study on the nonlinear optical properties of metal nanocrystals.
